Some of the absolutely stunning art work the children did for Braunton Fair. The winners were presented with their certificates at school on Friday (well done) but sadly, weren't winners as we'd missed the strict A4 size specification! ...and you should have seen how good Class 1's caterpillar was. Fair enough 14foot of caterpillar is slightly bigger than A4, but [...]

The pole's base had [...]

The races were held on Monday afternoon and each car could [...]
